An immense crop of mosquitoes is a
usual sequence of a season of heavy
rains. Several years ago this was es-
pecially the case on the Peninsula,
when the condition of affairs was some
thing like the picture thus described in
New Jersey:
Newark, N. j., July 23.-About seven
miles west of Newark the Big Piece y
begins. This is large meadow, and is
many miles in extent. At the present
time it is covered with water from the
recent storms, and it is feared that the
grass crop will be entirely ruined. Even
if it was not covered with water it
would be impossible to gather the
grass, as the mosquitoes are so bad that
man cannot venture on the place.
No words can describe how bad thew
are. People living around there are
compelled to cover themselves with
netting, and it is an amusing sight to
see the farmers hOeing corn with sew
eral yards of netting over theirpersons.
As this method does not entirely pro-
tect them, all vulnerable places are
covered with an offensive liquid which
the mosquitoes do not like. Large
fires are kept constantly burning near
the barnes in order that cattle NAV not
be worried to death by the pestiferous
insects. If some way is not soon dis
covered to drive them away, there will
be many vacant houses in that section
of the county.

Not since the memorable july of
1876 has the death list of any single
week in Philadelphia been so great
as last week, in a season when no great
epidemic like cholera or yellow fever
was raging. The number of deaths.
691, was an increase of 146 over the
previous week, in which the rate of fa-
tality was unusually high, and 256 over
the corresponding week of last year.
Thursdays storm was very severe in
Cecil county, and great damage was in
nicted, bridges being washed away and
roads rendered impossible. There
were bad washOuts on the Baltimore
and OhiO's Philadelphia extension and
on the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore. A bridge near Eden Station.
on the Baltimore and Ohio, gave wav,
OOstructlngstrayel. There was also a
washout on the Annapolis Short Line.
The damage by the floods in Mas.
sachusetts and New York was very
great. Twenty-three bridges were des-
troyed in the valleys of the Green and
Black Grocery rivers, in Massacbueatts
causing S5O0.OO0 loss. The foundations
OF the Millory Iron Works, near Hills
dale, \. Y, were badly damaged. and
a $4,000 bridge swept away. The
rivers in many parts of New Hamn-
shire are higher than ever before
known IN summer, aud dams and
bridges have been carried awav. On
the railroad between Miller's Falls and
Ewing, Mass, six miles, there are 05
WashOuts and II landslides.
